Although most people are able to lose weight by following fad diets or increasing their activity, it is not possible for everyone to achieve and sustain significant weight loss. For lasting change, you will need to make structural adjustments to your daily routines as well as changes in the way that you think and act. A healthy amount of lean tissue in the body is essential for weight loss. While muscle can increase metabolism, it can also cause weight gain and mask fat loss. Our clients are asked to initially focus on increasing energy and changing their body composition, rather than rapid weight loss. We encourage clients not to stick to a set of diet rules and instead to explore different nutritional options. It increases your chances of developing healthy habits that will last for years.
